Roll up, ...roll up, ...roll up!

I had quite a surprise today when at about 5.30 the boys came into my workroom and announced ..."Dad, you'd better come quick, we're having a Circus".




Now I should have noticed the signs, because over the last few days there had been comings and goings, ....staplers and sellotape had been borrowed etc. And mysteriously the bunting (made from old carrier bags) had been erected.



Now, a small audience had been arranged, and the show began...



Little Zippo was a clown who performed all manner of juggling and fire eating tricks, he was joined by Mippo who twirled plates and performed snake charming tricks, with Lewis the stunt rider helping out too. Mummy was the ring master extraordinaire.




The show was rounded off by Zippo performing his Lion taming act, which had us all on the edge of our seats....
